Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi! This may sound weird. I've had this going on for about 20 years now. I happened to come across a tik tok like 10 mins ago talking about POTS and air hunger. I had never heard of anyone else having this issue until that video. Everyone kept saying it was anxiety or that I was just weird. I came across this post because I started searching air hunger on Google. Have you been checked for POTS? I wonder if that may be what's causing it. I'm going to reach out to my cardiologist and ask them to check me for that just in case. I hope this helps ❤️

Interesting @rovelaris21! Thank you sharing this. I've never heard of POTS, but doing a quick Google search I see that the principles are very similar to what the Buteyko method is. Very similar approach to treatment which focuses on ways to reduce and normalize the volume of air we breathe. Have you tried any of the methods as far as incorporating any of them to help your air hunger symptoms?

I have an appointment with my cardiologist next month and I’m going to ask him about POTS. Thank you for sharing about POTS. I have also had this issue for 20 years. I complain to my husband about it and he doesn’t understand the frustration I have with my breathing. He thinks I’m crazy lol
